Hyalesthes is a planthopper genus in the family Cixiidae.

Nomenclature

The etymology is from Greek: ὕαλος (glassy, hyaline) + ἑσθὴς (cloth, toga, robe). While Signoret originally treated the genus as masculine, as did many subsequent authors, according to the ICZN Art. 30.1.2, the name is feminine.
